Abstract

Disclosed is an eco-friendly biodegradable polyester resin composition, including: a polyester resin including a diol, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, wherein an alternating ratio of the polyester resin is 0.3 to 0.7, wherein the alternating ratio is a ratio of a diol, bonded between the aromatic dicarboxylic acid and the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, among the diol. The diol may include 1,4-butanediol; the aromatic dicarboxylic acid may include terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate; and the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid may include adipic acid. When the biodegradable polyester resin composition is dried at 80° C., placed in a stainless steel mold, and compressed at 210° C. under a pressure of 10 MPa for 3 minutes to produce a polyester sheet having a thickness of 300 μm, the sheet has a tensile strange range from 40 MPa to 60 MPa, an elongation at break range from 800% to 1100%, and Young's modulus range from 20 MPa to 80 MPa.
